We can split this problem into two parts: the original price of the CD set and the 40% extra. We already know the original price of the CD set, so we just need to find the 40% extra. Let's convert 40% to a decimal instead of a percentage. We can do this by dividing by 100.

40/100 = 0.4.

Next, we multiply 20 by 0.4 to find the extra price:

20 * 0.4 = 8

So, the answer is 20 + 8 = $28

We can skip the step of adding the two items together by saying the CD set sells for 140% the original price. 20 * 1.4 = $28
